| Summary |
"Space Station 1" by Frank Belknap Long is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The story follows Lieutenant David Corriston, who, upon visiting an enormous space station, becomes embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy involving kidnappings, murder, and a hidden enemy. As he grapples with these threats, his determination to uncover the truth could determine not just his fate, but that of Earth itself. At the start of the narrative, the atmosphere onboard the space station is infused with wonder but quickly turns to terror. Corriston finds himself in a life-threatening struggle with a mysterious assailant just after expressing his awe for the station's grandeur. As he wrestles for survival in the dark, his mind races with thoughts of Helen Ramsey, the daughter of a powerful figure, who has vanished amid the chaos. The opening segment sets up an intense plot filled with suspense as Corriston fights against time and unseen threats to find her, hinting at deeper intrigues that might endanger them both.
